*Call for Papers: **Solidarity in times of (in)security*
*Short abstract *
Security plays a key role in debates around current crises. Contradictions
/ combinations between security-based and solidarity-based
organization unsettle
such debates in complex ways. The panel seeks empirically informed
contributions aiming at theorizing the nexus between solidarity and
security.
*Long abstract*
In the context of current multiple global crises, a new tide of
militarization promises security, providing a recognition of individual
value based on belonging to protected groups. Multiple forms of grassroots
and cross-class organizations operate this aspect of solidarity, often
beyond territories covered by official security policies. Meanwhile,
initiatives running counter to militarization and securitization propose a
notion of security based on solidarity. For example, the Refugees Welcome
initiative in Germany aims at fostering solidarity with refugees amidst
societal debates on the insecurity that refugees are seen to cause. The
Transition movement promotes a politics towards the climate crisis based in
preference for local systems of mutual help, instead of top-down security
measures. The centrality of security in current debates about climate,
immigration, or economic welfare tends to obscure its silent pendant – the
force of solidarity. The theorization of the complex nexus between
solidarity and security in current reactions to global crises might be a
major anthropological contribution to understanding and dealing with
current crises.
The panel aims at examining the relationship between security and
solidarity, by asking:
- How do solidarities emerge and function in an age of (in)security, and
how do they change or undermine practices and discourses of (in)security?
- How do rationalities of solidarity and rationalities of security stand in
contrast, opposition, or complementarity to each other, or, more
ambiguously, in complicity with each other?
We seek ethnographically informed cases which discuss these and other
connex issues, aiming at theorizing the nexus between security and
solidarity.
